Could someone please help me with this. I love some of these free embroidery patterns but how do you get it onto fabric? I feel stupid asking this but I would love the help! Thank you
Denise Felton says
Chelsey, there are a variety of ways to get a design onto fabric for embroidery. Go to the search field near the bottom of the left-hand column of this page and search for “transfer,” and you’ll see links to quite a few blog posts on this topic. Or go to your favorite search engine and search for “embroidery transfer.” Hope this helps.

Thank you ‘nise!
Chelsey, Do what Denise suggested. I’ll only add that I had to try several different techniques before I found the ones I like best.

Are these patterns free to use? I can’t figure out this site.
